Vicki-Anne Parker runs charity NZ Gifts of Love & Strength from the former site of Central New Brighton School, but has to find a new premises soon as the site has been sold for housing.
A Christchurch charity founded the day after the March 15 terror attack may close if it cannot find a new home. Vicki-Anne Parker – founder of NZ Gifts of Love & Strength, which was established on March 16, 2019 – says the group’s future is in doubt because the land where it is based is about to be sold. Parker and a small team of volunteers provide care packages to victims of recent severe traumatic events and welcome packages to refugee families arriving into Christchurch.
